On a blind zone elimination method based on partial compression filter design using randomwaveforms for monostatic pulsed radars

This work addresses a novel method of eliminating blind zones in radar detection systems based on a combined use of a waveform design and a coherent filter design. It is verified that random waveforms have intrinsic properties that allow to perform pulse compression using just fragments of the returned signal without jeopardizing system´s perfomance. Blind zone elimination, receiver´s minimal signal to noise relation and receiver filter output´s sidelobe increase tradeoffs are discussed. Finally, a comparison between coherent receiver´s output for linear frequency modulated signals and randomly frequencymodulated signals is analysed.
